Ask a Scientist: The Quantum World Around Us

16:15 – 17:00 THE BIG BANG STAGE

Jonáš Fuksa, Vítězslav Škorpík, Tomáš Mančal, Moderated by Lenka Vrtišková Nejezchlebová

What do the processes taking place in plant leaves, quantum chips, and the depths of the Universe have in common? What role did quantum physics play in the birth of the Universe, and how do we use it today to study distant cosmic objects? Do quantum computers mark the beginning of a new technological revolution? And does quantum mechanics really play a role in photosynthesis?

These and many other questions can be explored with experts from Ask a Scientist, a project that has been answering questions from the public for more than five years.

Joining the discussion are Jonáš Fuksa (quantum technologies), Vítězslav Škorpík (quantum phenomena in astrophysics), and Tomáš Mančal (quantum phenomena in biological systems). The discussion will be moderated, as always, by science journalist and communicator Lenka Vrtišková Nejezchlebová from Deník N.
